About this episode
The episode discusses Iowa State Cyclones' new intense training under head coach Jimmy Rogers and their potential as Big 12 title contenders.
Iowa State Cyclones electrify spring football with the intense “Midnight Alley” drill, setting the tone for a new era under head coach Jimmy Rogers. Can this aggressive, high-energy approach turn the Cyclones into Big 12 title contenders? Nick Marovets captures the crowd’s excitement as players and coaches embrace a culture built on toughness, physicality, and relentless pursuit on both sides of the ball. Key highlights include defensive leader Zamir Hawk’s behind-the-scenes look at the team’s dedication—players “living” in the film room to master new schemes—and Jesse Bobbitt’s bold claim that Iowa State could have one of the nation’s top defenses. The episode spotlights new practice routines, the impact of the coaching staff, and a fresh environment at Jack Trice Stadium. Could this cultural transformation be the spark Iowa State needs for a breakout season?
